Spooktober Day 2

Pandora's Curse Summary.

Everything was going well for Lesley Woods and her classmates as they were decorating the classroom for Halloween. Their teacher, Ms. Bridge came into the classroom with a mysterious box. One of the students suggested that they play a game called Pandora's Curse with the box. Lesley was reluctant but the others convinced her that things would be okay.

They were so wrong.

As they were playing the game, everything suddenly went pitch black, and when the lights came back on, everyone was shocked to see Ms. Bridge with a spear in her stomach that was attached to the chalkboard. On the board, written in blood, are the words "you have unleashed the curse, you've doomed yourselves to fate worse than death itself." Lesley and her classmates suddenly found themselves having to escape demons and vengeful spirits as they wondered around this abandoned school. As they explored the school, they came across a black cat named Eve, who wanted to help them escape the wrath of the demon who lurked within the box. It's a race against time, and the students are slowly dropping like flies.

1981

This is from the Au Pairs' first album "Playing With A Different Sex".

I love this band's punk energy, scratchy guitars and sharp lyrics (I could go on...).

The "Stepping Out Of Line - The Anthology" compilation is a nice collection that brings together all the songs from the band's albums and singles. I will be posting more tracks soon!

Wood Engraving Wednesday

HELLMUTH WEISSENBORN

The painter, illustrator, and wood engraver Hellmuth Weissenborn (1898-1982) was a German exile who fled to the United Kingdom in 1939, where he became a successful book illustrator, freelance graphic artist, and private press publisher along with his wife Lesley Macdonald. When Weissenborn died, Macdonald donated all of his wood and Perspex blocks to John and Rosalind Randle’s Whittington Press. These blocks have been used extensively by the press over the years.

The first 7 images shown here are hand-colored prints from Weissenborn’s blocks printed at Whittington for a broadside titled Malá Zahrada Vysázená pro Matrix 26 Hellmuthem Weissenbornem, printed on handmade Czech Velké Losiny paper in 2006 in an edition of 80 copies. Another uncolored version of the broadside was folded into the Whittington Press’s journal for printers and bibliophiles Matrix 26 for an article by Amsterdam bookseller Willem Keizer on the “Hand-made Paper from Velké Losiny” printed in an edition of 760 copies, Winter 2006, pp 113-118.This issue also includes an article by William Waterhouse on the Weissenborn family, “Musicians and Graphic Artists: the Weissenborns of Leipzig and London,” pp. 159-164.The last three images include wood engravings from Matrix 26 by Helmuth Weissenborn.

Our copies of both the broadside and the journal Matrix are another generous donation from our friend Jerry Buff.
